Fanatical's Curve Digital Sale sees Bomber Crew, Flame in the Flood going cheap for a limited time
http://www.pcgamer.com/fanaticals-curve-digital-sale-sees-bomber-crew-flame-in-the-flood-going-cheap-for-a-limited-time/
As you may have spied earlier this month, digital deals site Bundle Stars has been reworked and rebranded as Fanatical. Its Curve Digital Sale is live now, should you fancy some neat deals into the weekend. Fanatical's Curve Digital Sale is live now through Saturday November 25, at 8am GMT/midnight PT.

 

Strangely enough, so far there's no sign of a weekly sale at GOG , but we'll have to wait to see if it's just a matter of them being late, or if they're planning something bigger.

 

Meanwhile, it's still too early to know the weeklong deals from Steam, except a daily sale that will end tomorrow involving the publisher Raw Fury, but we'll have to keep an eye on the store because the leaked Steam sales dates mentioned that the Autumn one would start this Wednesday, 22th.
